BROOKINGS, S.D. – South Dakota State makes its home debut for the 2022-23 season by taking on the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (2-1) at 6 p.m. Saturday in Frost Arena. The matchup between the Jacks is the second following last year's game in Nacogdoches, Texas, which saw SDSU top SFA 83-71 in William R. Johnson Coliseum on Nov. 14.Â
Â
The Jackrabbits play their first game in Frost Arena this season. SDSU is known for its success across Division I for its success in its home confines. Since the 2015-16 season, the Jackrabbits lead the nation in home winning-percentage with their record of 91-5 (.948). SDSU is among the top three in the country in home winning percentage over the last decade.
Â
The home opener in Brookings on Nov. 19 is one of the latest in recent memory. Excluding the 2020-21 season, the home opener date is the latest for SDSU since 2014-15 when it hosted North Dakota on Nov. 21. The matchup is also the deepest SDSU has hosted a game in its slate since 2003-04 when the Jacks played their first contest in Frost in their sixth game of the season.Â
Â
The Jacks returned to Brookings following an eventful two-day span. SDSU played its first game in the 605 state on Tuesday, defeating St. Bonaventure 66-62 in the Sanford Pentagon. Just 24 hours later SDSU was in Fayetteville taking on No. 9/10 Arkansas and fell to the Razorbacks, 71-56. The Jackrabbits stand at 2-2 overall on the season.Â
Â
Senior Matt Dentlinger led the Jackrabbits in scoring for the third consecutive game in their victory over the Bonnies. His three straight double-digit outputs were a first for him since the 2020-21 season.
Â
Wednesday's contest at nationally-ranked Arkansas saw SDSU cut a deficit to the Razorbacks to 31-27 with 2:29 left in the first half. Arkansas responded with a 10-0 run and the game stayed in double digits from there.Â
Â
Zeke Mayo has been a leader on the boards for SDSU in four contests. After a career-high 13 rebounds in the win against St. Bonaventure, he snagged another eight to go with nine points in the loss to the Hogs. He's averaging 8.3 this season.
